Children's Hospital Boston is the primary pediatric program of Harvard Medical School, which is located next to the hospital. All faculty hold academic appointments at the medical school. There are more than 500 Harvard Medical School faculty at Children's Hospital Boston.
Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School are part of a larger, roughly 20 square block campus called the Longwood Medical Area. Children's sits in the center of this area, adjacent to the Brigham and Women's Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, as well as Harvard Medical School, and within a block of the Joslin Diabetes Center, the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, the Harvard School of Public Health, the Harvard Dental School, the Channing Laboratory, and the Immune Disease Institute. Some members of the staff are also staff members at one of these neighboring institutions.
Children's Hospital Boston participates in numerous cooperative programs. It is a partner in Neonatology with Brigham and Women's Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. It is the headquarters of the New England Regional Infant Cardiac Program, the site of the Massachusetts Poison Control System, a partner in the Joint Program in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and a partner in the Joint Program in Gastroenterology and Nutrition with Massachusetts General Hospital across town. Several surgical departments are joint programs with the Brigham and Women's Hospital.
